Normal;Mild to moderate: patient slurs at least some words and, at worst, can be understood with some difficulty.;Severe: patient's speech is so slurred as to be unintelligible in the absence of or out of proportion to any dysphasia, or is mute/anarthric.;Intubated or other physical barrier, explain

No abnormality.;Visual, tactile, auditory, spatial, or personal inattention or extinction to bilateral simultaneous stimulation in one of the sensory modalities.;Profound hemi-inattention or extinction to more than one modality. Does not recognize own hand or orients to only one side of space.

Normal;Partial gaze palsy. This score is given when gaze is abnormal in one or both eyes, but where forced deviation or total gaze paresis are not present;Forced deviation, or total gaze paresis not overcome by the oculocephalic maneuver;Normal;Partial gaze palsy.

Normal symmetrical movement;Minor paralysis (flattened nasolabial fold, asymmetry on smiling);Partial paralysis (total or near total paralysis of lower face);Complete paralysis of one or both sides (absence of facial movement in the upper and lower face)

Motor ability of the arm (both left and right) assessed using the Pediatric NIH Stroke Scale (PedNIHSS)

Motor ability of the arm (both left and right) assessed using the Pediatric NIH Stroke Scale (PedNIHSS)

Motor arm

0;1;2;3;4;9

No drift: limb holds 90 (or 45) degrees for full 10 seconds;Drift: limb holds 90 (or 45) degrees, but drifts down before full 10 seconds, does not hit bed or other support;Some effort against gravity: limb cannot get to or maintain (if cued) 90 (or 45) degrees, drifts down to bed, but has some effort against gravity.;No effort against gravity: limb falls;No movement;Amputation, joint fusion explain

Motor ability of the leg (both left and right) assessed using the Pediatric NIH Stroke Scale (PedNIHSS)

Motor leg

0;1;2;3;4;9

No drift: leg holds 30 degrees position for full 5 seconds.;Drift: leg falls by the end of the 5 second period but does not hit bed.;Some effort against gravity: leg falls to bed by 5 seconds, but has some effort against gravity.;No effort against gravity, leg falls to bed immediately.;No movement;Amputation, joint fusion explain

Normal: no sensory loss.;Mild to moderate sensory loss: patient feels pinprick is less sharp or is dull on the affected side, or there is a loss of superficial pain with pinprick but patient is aware he/she is being touched.;Severe to total sensory loss: patient is not aware of being touched in the face, arm, and leg.

Laterality type relative to the anatomic site of the body examined or affected

No aphasia, normal;Mild to moderate aphasia: some obvious loss of fluency or facility of comprehension, without significant limitation on ideas expressed or form of expression. Reduction of speech and/or comprehension, however, makes conversation about provided material difficult or impossible. For example in conversation about provided materials examiner can identify picture or naming card from patient's response.;Severe aphasia: all communication is through fragmentary expression, great need for inference, questioning, and guessing by the listener. Range of information that can be exchanged is limited: listener carries burden of communication. Examiner cannot identify materials provided from patient response.;Mute, global aphasia: no usable speech or auditory comprehension.

Alert: keenly responsive;Not alert, but arousable by minor stimulation to obey, answer, or respond;Not alert, requires repeated stimulation to attend, or is obtunded and requires strong or painful stimulation to make movements (not stereotyped);Responds only with reflex motor or autonomic effects or totally unresponsive, flaccid, flexic
